    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for recommending television programming using decision trees. Inductive principles are utilized to identify a set of recommended programs that may be of interest to a particular viewer, based on past viewing behavior. A user's viewing history is monitored and the shows that are actually watched by a user (positive examples) and the shows that are not watched by the user (negative examples) are analyzed. For each positive and negative program example (i.e., programs watched and not watched), a number of program attributes are classified in the user profile. The various attributes are then positioned in a hierarchical decision tree based on a ranking of the entropy of each attribute. Each node and sub-node in the decision tree corresponds to a given attribute from the user profile. Each leaf node in the decision tree corresponds to either a positive or negative recommendation for a program mounted at the corresponding leaf node. The decision tree is built using a decision tree process that implements a “top-down divide and conquer” approach. The decision tree can thereafter be applied to an electronic program guide to make program recommendations.

    摘要: A device for identifying vehicles traveling in excess of a predetermined speed. The device including: speed measurement detector for measuring the speed of a target vehicle and outputting a signal indicative of the measured speed; a camera operatively connected to the speed measurement detector for capturing image data of a license plate affixed to the target vehicle when the target vehicle exceeds the predetermined speed; and a device for tagging the captured image data with the signal indicative of the measured speed of the target vehicle. The device can further have a recognition system for recognizing the license plate of the target vehicle which controls the camera to provide an enhanced view of the license plate. The device can also have classification and color identification systems for identifying a type and color of the target vehicle. The type and color information can also be tagged to the image data.

    摘要: The position of a target lying on a plane is indicated by inputting a pointing direction which is computationally projected onto a plane. If the target is known to lie on a contour, the position is specified unambiguously. Alternatively, the position of a target can be specified by inputting its axial coordinates in successive steps. In another alternative approach, the image containing the target is translated and/or rotated and the target indicated again. The two direction projections are then used to determine the position of the target in 2-space. The direction indications may be input by a camera or other method, such as one or more radio transmitters.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device containing an automatic zoom lens, and more particularly to a zoom lens that is controlled by a processor that is linked to a gaze tracking system. As a user looks onto an object through the device, the gaze tracking system collects data relating to the position of each eye of the user. This eye position data is input into the processor where the focal point of the user is determined. The processor then adjusts the zoom lens to zoom in or out onto the object based on either a predetermined or user input zoom factor.

    摘要: A method for generating a recommendation is provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving at least one of a negative and positive example from one or more other users; and determining a recommendation for a user based on at least one of the negative and positive examples. The method can further include the step of generating a user profile for the user based on previous behavior of the user, in which case the determining step can include determining the recommendation based on the negative example and the user profile. The determining step can also include the step of determining the recommendation based on both of the negative and positive examples.

    摘要: A television programming recommender is disclosed that selectively obtains feedback information from a user to update one or more profiles associated with the user. Previously obtained implicit and explicit preferences are utilized to selectively focus the collection of feedback information to further update and refine the implicit and explicit preferences. The present invention obtains feedback from a user in a manner that maximizes the value of the obtained information and improves the performance of the television programming recommender. The present invention automatically requests feedback from the user upon the occurrence of predefined criteria. The nature of the requested feedback, and the manner in which the obtained feedback is used to adjust a profile, can vary.

    摘要: Extracting and processing video content encoded in a rendered color space to be emulated by an ambient light source, comprising extracting color information from a video signal and transforming the color information through unrendered color space using tristprimary matrices to form a second rendered color space to drive the ambient light source. Video signal decoding into frames can allow extracting average or other color information from an selected screen regions to reduce bitstream load, and negative gamma correction helps prevent garish or inappropriate chromaticities and luminance.

    摘要: A system searches for segments among multiple publications dealing with a given topic or set of topics, and compiles these segments into a custom-created electronic-book. In a commercial environment, such custom-created e-books are offered for sale to a user or set of users who have expressed interest in the given topic or set of topics. Optionally, the system is aware of the publications that are in a user's existing library, and avoids the inclusion of redundant material in the custom-created e-book for that user.
